We were prepared to the numerous trolls awaiting us expecially in League since we still hold the "perfect season" in our hands. As we thought, we were AGAIN severely attacked by the game engine and AGAIN it was just a matter of luck and good choiches that put us out of troubles. Merit is to be given, this time, to the coach for massively changing the flow of the game.

But first thing first:

Yesterday's Match, comparisons:




Today's Match, comparisons:



Don't be fooled by the result, as we were seriously losing it for good. Going into specifics:



Surely with his Q32 he is on chart the strongest league competitor, but after the 1-8 in the first leg he didn't improve at all. So against his 3-1-3W-1-2 we opposed a 3-1-4-2 which would have outplayed him at midfield and, same time, disable his dmc while our STs would eventually have easy time against his 3* defenders. We couldn't be more wrong. We started with a field supremacy that didn't produce anything good, if not that at the first action towards our goal a shoot from HALF field got in taking us for the second consecutive time down in the first half. A defence who took 2 goals in twenty matches, suddenly takes 2 goals in the last two days. Despite that, we kept attacking but as yesterday, all our shoots were "wide". Until minute 30 when coach Mad decided to go all out resuming the 4-1-2-1-2 taking out Stein(ML) for Bergera (DL). We didn't see anything between the sub and the message telling us that Bergera got injured (2 mins after the sub), leaving ofc us with no DL and forcing coach Mad to get Fubuki Shirou in (DR) and play OOR Yuma (DC). In the second half our opponent tightened the defence moving on 4-1-4-1 and we got Schneider in who massively incided over the turn. But today's saviour was defenetly our Scout J.Romer who at a point blasted a shoot through the keeper giving us finally the equalizer (54'). And when he was called over a Free Kick, his curve was again flawless getting us finally ahead (63'). We kept dominating at this point not without having tedious counters against despite our normal mentality and 4back + DMC, but when again Schneider was fouled on the area's limit despite the non assigned penalty Romer beat again the keeper on free kick, thus leaving us on 1-3 (87'). Becker realized the 1-4 in the last minute which reflected better the real situation on the field today (89').

Scorers: S.David, J.Romer (3), T.Becker.
MoM: J.Romer (9), New Team.

Afterthoughts:

- J.Romer saved us from engine today. Again, never before a scout we took which wasn't top notch (was Q48) performed so well in a season. 14th goal in 14 matches played for him.

- CL second Leg in about an hour with a wide lead (0-4) from the first match. I'm pretty sure that engine won't effect in Cups as badly as in League.

-Our perfect serie is still safe (for now) as we sit at +12 points from the second in table. Tomorrow we'll play a super defensive late board's team which shouldn't be a problem.
